Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9818103A1] Sheet counting apparatus comprises a sheet support (2-4) for holding a stack of sheets (13) to be counted. A sheet feed device (14) moves the sheets individually from a first position to a second position while they remain held together in the stack (13). A counter (23) monitors movement of the sheet as it is moved from the first position to the second position, and increments a count when such movement is detected.
